Abstract:High sampling-rate robotic total stations (RTS) are emerging tools for monitoring both semi-static and dynamic displacement responses of bridge structures, due to rapid advancements in data sampling rates and tracking speeds. However, the dynamic measurement accuracy of the RTS needs to be fully assessed, especially for different sighting distances. To this end, groups of static and dynamic evaluating tests were carried out on university campuses, and a further in-situ performance assessment with RTS was performed for monitoring dynamic responses of a long suspension bridge in Changsha, China, with a central span of 328 m. A standardized procedure was developed to process these RTS measurements. The background noise in RTS measurements for sighting-distances varying from 25 m to 400 m only results in minor errors which mainly distribute in a frequency range of less than 0.1 Hz. The vibration displacements of an oscillating platform between the RTS and an accelerometer are compared in both horizontal and vertical directions to demonstrate the sufficient accuracy of the RTS measurements. The in-situ experiment also leads to a similar conclusion. This study confirms that the feasibility of using high sampling-rate RTS for monitoring dynamic responses of bridges. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

Profile

Dr. Bin Xu is currently the Minjiang Scholar Professor of Civil Engineering, a professorship appointed by Fujian Provincial Government, at Huaqiao University, Xiamen, China. He currently is the Director and Founder of the Key Laboratory for Intelligent Infrastructure and Monitoring (IIM) of Fujian Province, and the Director and Founder of the International Centre for Safety and Sustainability of Civil Engineering at Huaqiao University. 

Before joining Huaqiao University, he was a Lotus Scholar Professor of Civil Engineering (a professorship appointed by Fujian Provincial Government) at Hunan University from 2005 to 2016 and was also the associate dean of the College of Civil Engineering at Hunan University from 2010 to 2016. He was also the Director of the Hunan Provincial Key Lab on Damage Prognosis for Engineering Structures from 2015 to 2016 at Hunan University. He taught and carried out research at the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University as a Curtis Visiting Professor appointed by Purdue University in 2014-2015 academic year. He had been invited and financially support by European Commission to work at Sapienza University of Roma in 2010 and hired by University of Western Australia as a Gledden Visiting Senior Fellow from 2007 to 2008. Before starting working in China in 2005, he worked at University of Missouri-Rolla in US as a Post-Doc from 2003 to 2005 and at Ibaraki University in Japan as a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) postdoctoral fellow from 2001 to 2003. 

He has been the supervisor of 7 Ph.D., 1 Post-Doc, 4 international visiting students and over 60 MS students. All of his PhD students are working at universities. Dr. Xu has committed to securing competitive external funds to support programs, research, and labs. He has been the PI and Co-PI of 14 competitive government funded research projects including a China- European Commission international collaborative research project, an international collaborative research project between National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and National Natural Science Foundation (NSF) of US, and a number of NSFC research projects. He is also the recipient of Grant-in-aid of 7 talent programs sponsored by China Ministry of Education (CMoE) and other government agencies.

He also serves on various academic societies as Editor-in-Chief, Executive Editor, Associate Editor, Guest Editor or editorial board member for international journals and professional committees as Standing Committee Member, Executive Member or Committee Members.
